Type ME64 Installation 7.4.2 Simplified power supply plan When modules in the ME6x product series are combined, the information provided in this chapter must be followed. For type ME63, the supply can be either via X03 (max. 2x16A) or X4 (max. 4A). • Attention: A supply via both is prohibited. For Type ME64, Power 1 and Power 2 are two separate circuits with common ground. • Both supplies are routed separately to the module. Power 1 supplies ports X1-X8 (and the internal electronics assembly of the module). •...

Type ME64 Installation Reverse protection - ME63 If both supplies (A-coded and L-coded) are connected, it is not permitted for any return flow to occur via the A-coded supply. With the ME63 type, this is prevented via reverse protection. If the modules are only supplied via the M12 A-coded (X4) supply, the reserve protection function switches over automatically. Power supply via X01 (AUX power) - ME64 & ME66 The power supply is activated via port X03 for the modules in delivery condition. ATTENTION Input cannot be made via both ports at the same time. If the modules are supplied via port X01, the switch must be changed over. Underneath the light blue side panel, there is a switch for changing over the module supply from X03 to port X01 (AUX power). „7.4.2 Simplified power supply plan“ ATTENTION Damage to the switch for AUX power.

Type ME64 Bürkert Communicator menus Menu Description Configuration of the cyclic process data objects: PDO configuration PDO 1 The information from channels 1 to 16 is transmitted as bit fields in the PDO 1 object. PDO 2 This includes multifunction inputs 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16, when they PDO 3 are configured as digital inputs. When the multifunction inputs are assigned another input function (e.g. Frequency), the information from these channels are transmitted in other PDO objects: PDO 2 for channels 1 and 2, and PDO 3 for channels 9 and 10. The corresponding bit values in the PDO 1 object are invalid in this case and are to be ignored. PDO 2 and PDO 3 are then only generated by the device if the multi- function inputs are not configured as digital inputs.
